THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1922 1EP0BLIGI5 SURE OF HOUSE CONIEOL LEADER OF TURKISH , NATIONALISTS WHOSE ARMY HAS ROUTED THE GREEK ARMY AND CAPTURED SMYRNA. Majority of More Than 50 Held Certainty. MAINE VOTE CONSIDERED Sullivan Forecast Made Subject t to Qualification That Trend Is Against Republicans. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright. 1922. by New York Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D.t C, Sept. 12. The republicans are able to estimate, based on the Maine election, that they should hold the next congress by a majority of comfortably more than BO. Fifty, indeed, is the mini mum republican majority of the next house that can be predicted on the basis of the results in Main It might readily run as high as 8U or even 100. This is subject to the qualifica tion that the trend is against the republicans. The republicans them selves know that is so and admit that everything that ' will happen between now and November is likely to hurt the republicans rather tha help them. Nevertheless, there no possible way of interpreting the figures from Maine except as point ing to republican control of the house by a large majority. In 1918 the democrats and re publicans in the lower house were almost even. The democrats had 209 and the republicans 212.- In September of that year Maine held an election for governor. The re publicans carried it by a majority of 5051. Thereafter in November . the country as a whole elected 190 democratic representatives and 240 republicans, giving the republicans a. majority of 60. Figure Doubled Now. In comparing the Maine majority of 1918 with the Maine majority of this year it is necessary to double the former figure because of woman suffrage having come into effect Making this change, we have a com parison between 10,102 and upward of 2d, 000 the present year. The inference that the republicans chould be able to carry the house this year by more than 50 is un mistakable. One way of expressing what has happened in Maine is to say that whereas the republican majority in Maine in 1920 was about 32 per cent of the total vote of the Btate, the majority this year is only about 14 per cent of the total vote. The falling off this year from the 1920 majority amounts to 18 per cent of the total vote. The inference is that throughout the country as a whole the repub licans this year should carry all the districts they now hold except those in which their 1920 majorities were less than 18 per cent of the total vote. This is an intricate cal cuiation but when there is time to carry it out carefully it will constl tute a fair forecast of the Novem feer elections. France Liable to Fail. The results of the Maryland primary promise a marked and hopeful addition to the intellectual strength of the senate. Senator France, who won the republican nomination for another term, is an eccentric radical. It would probably lie fair to describe him as more radical than La , Follette but with less intellectual strength than the Wisconsin senator. That France should win his republican renomi nation was taken for granted; but it is equally taken for granted now that he will lose the election in November and that the next senator from Maryland will be the man who won the democratic nomination to day, "William Cabell Bruce. Bruce, when he is elected, will be as marked an addition to the intellectual strength of the senate as was Pepper . of Pennsylvania some weeks ago. When Bruce's name was first brought up the Baltimore Sun said of him: "Time , was. in the history of the country, when representatives of Maryland in the senate of the United States were recognized as among the most distinguished statesmen of their day. The nomination of Mr. Bruce would mark a turning point in the direction of distinctly higher standards." I Si V !7 fir"-J "t H 'ry k 1 Svv-iWMOirmuflu i n if, u l.l Jif. i li llll l iAlJJl. ,IJ.'

MANY SHOPS ARE LOOTED MRS. HARDING IS BETTER (Continued From Flrat Page.) bedside o the president's wife con tinued to praise her highly today for the pluck and fortitude she had shown. "The doctors, of course, deserve some credit," said Dr. Sawyer, "but Mrs. Harding to a large extent is responsible herself for the remark able way she has pulled through a desperate illness. She has been a wonderful patient acceding readily end cheerfully to every suggestion." Mrs. Harding's condition was still so serious today that persons other than members of the household. were not permitted to visit her bedside. Flowers, however, were received in profusion and hundreds of sympa thetic messages reached the execu tive mansion. The president continued to spend his time in or near his wife's room. Dr. Sawyer said the president had been under a "terrific strain' but had borne up under it remarkably. Assurance from the physicians that his wife not only l!ad passed the crisis but continued to improve was the source of great relief. Reviewing the case Dr. Sawyer said that when the six physicians in attendance were in consultation for the first time late Sunday they were in a "deep hole." Mrs. Harding's risrht kidney, which on three pre vious occasions had been affected during illness, "folded over," ceas ing to function normally. To complicate the situation further the lrft kidney, refusing to accommo date the increased load which de volved on it, became acutely in flamed. For a while. Dr. Sawyer said, orammg or tne right kidney was considered as a means of affording emergency relief, but this step was avoifled as the inflammation of the eft kidney subsided. Attending physicians, it was added, have rea son to believe that the right kidney is again readjusting itself and is being reduced to a normal size. Danger of a relapse, it was indi cated, rests largely on the possi bility of the-left kidney again be coming inflamed. Photo by Underwood & -Underwood. MX; STAPH A KEjlAL PASHA. Troops of Mustapha Kemal'Pasha, leader of the Turkish Nationalists, are pursuing the fleeing Greek army in Anatolia and have captured Smyrna, Jrivlng the Greeks from that important and ancient city. The result of this fighting is not merely military, but highly political, as rumors are that Kemal's successes have so disgusted Greeks with the national policy that they are seeking for a return of ex-Premier Venizelos to power and the abdication of King Constantine. TWO CONCERTS PLANNED THE OREGOXLAJV TO PRESENT ARTISTS TO RADIO FANS. Events Tonight Promise to Prove of Unusual Standard and Give Delightful Entertainment. Two concerts, consisting mostly of vocal solos, are scheduled to be broadcast fro-m The Oregonlan tower tonight between 8 and 10 o'-ciock. Each will be f an hour's duration and artists of a high order will be introduced in both. One of the concerts has been ar ranged by Miss Genevieve Gilbert, vocal teacher and dramatic soprano, who will be the star artist of the second hour, from 9 to 10 o'clock. The radio audience once before had the opportunity to hear Miss Gil bert's splendid voice, with its ex treme range and admirable flexi bility, and In her radio debut she made a notable success. With Miss Gilbert .will appear Lu cille, Cummins, pianist, -who will play solos and also will play the accompaniments. Miss Cummins is piano instructor ana is a nigniy accomplished artist. She is a pro fessional pupil of Dent Mowry's. She will play "Canzonetta del Sal vatore Rosa" (Liszt), "Song With out Words" (Mendelssohn), and Novelette" (Rimsky-Korsakoff ). Some of Miss Gilbert's selections are Musette's aria from "La Boheme," miles southeast of Eugene. A farmer set the fire to burn out an old rail fence but the stiff breeze blowing at that time caused the blaze to spread and it ran rapidly over a number of fields of dry grass and into the timber, destroying fences in its wake, and when it reached the fir trees spread even more rapidly. A large force of men, including 25 or 30 soldiers from the army avia tion field, fought the fire all after noon but wer'e .unable to stay its progress. It was burning tonight on the Goshen and Creswell side of the hills. The men were able, however, to prevent the spread of the flames to farm buildings.

Pain Sto p s Instantly After 48 Honrs of Turkish Occu pation, Total Killings Esti mated by Americans at 100. BT JOHN CLAYTON. (Chicag-o Tribune Foreign News Service. Copyright. 1022. by the Chicago Tribune.) SMYRNA, Sept. 11. (Delayed via Alexandria.) The apprehension of fear-ridden Smyrna has turned to amazement. After 48 hours of Turkish occupation the population has begun to realize that there is not goine to be any massacre. Re membering the horrors of the Greek occupation in 1919, when. more than 4000 Moslems were butchered, the Christian population has been clamoring for protection. Aside from a few looters shot by patrols, snipers who have been executed, and Armenian, Greek and Turk victims of private feuds, there have been few- killings. All Join in Looting. During the first 36 hours the bazaars were turned over for sys tematic looting, in which soldiers and civilians of all ages Joined Practically every shop in the Ar menian quarter, save those which are owned by foreigners, were emptied. .Yesterday and today walked through the bazaars to find men, women, boys and girls of all nationalities taking everything they could carry away. Carts and don keys were loaded down with bales of cloth. Turkish soldiers were taking away shoes, shirts and bright colored stuffs in bundles I counted only a few dead. Yes terday I saw 15 bodies and today I counted five. American patrol of ficers estimate the total is perhaps 100. Only one American house, belong ing to King Bridge, one French and one British were reported looted to day. When I entered the Armenian quarter this morning I met the new military governor, Izzehdin Pasha, walking through the etreets with a staff officer and two eoldiers, forc ing the lootens who had robbed houses to return their spoils. After a short conversation with him, dur ing which he declared that despite massacres in the interior there would be no retaliation, I am con vinced that order will be restored in 24 hours. The discipline and order of the Turkish troops has been excellent. When one considers that they have just marched through a country laid waste by the Grek army, with thousands of Moslems slain, it is nothing short of remarkable. Cav alry and infantry patrols are assist ing the gendarmes to restore order. In the foreign quarter there have been no incidents. aoOO Greek Prisoners Brought In. About 6000 Greek prisoners were brought through the city "this morn ing. The Moslem population tried frantically to get at them. ' The Turks of Smyrna have long memories. Lists of Armenians and Greeks having important parts in the massacres of 1919 were fur nished the Turkish commander im mediately on his arrival. Yester day and today many of these were rounded up, 'tried by court-martial. and executed. I saw one party o 16 being taken out. Later I saw their dead bodies. The waterfront quays are piled high with household goods and bag gage. Refugees crowd every, alley way .and fill downtown buildings. Several hundred who had taken to barges under cover of British guris were removed to the customs house and searched for arms. Several whose names were on proscribed lists were taken, and the others were not molested. Major Davis, in charge of the combined American relief w-ork. an nounced, after a conference with the Turkish commander, that the Turks are prepared to send all ref ugees back to their villages as soon as possible. However, it will . be some time before homes can be re built. In the meantime Americans are feeding the refugees. Two bak eries for refugees have been opened. POINDEXTER IS AHEAD (Continued From First Page.) which was a bitter one. was the record of Miles Poindexter, United States senator, who ran for the re publican nomination to succeed him self. Estimates of the size of the vote cast throughout the state varied from 200.000, by the supporters of Colonel George B. Lamping, who op posed Senator Poindexter to 300, 000 by the partisans of the latter. The campaign against Senator Poindexter was made on his record by all his opponente, especially Judge Austin E. Griffiths. Mrs. Frances C. - Axtell and . Colonel Lamping. Entered as candidates for the senatorial nomination were also George H. Stevenson of Seattle and Lee Tittle of Yakima. .' A feature of the campaign was an. abortive effort to have Judge Grif fiths, Mrs. Axtell and Colonel Lamp ing to agree for two of thenr to withdraw so that the third could gather all the anti-Poindexter votes.- Mrs. Axtell had been put lorwara by a group of members of labor and farm organizations. She at first de clared that she corfld not enter a conference with the possibility of quitting the race without their per mission. Later when a vote of her backers had instructed her to enter the conference, she announced her willingness to do so. Judge Grif fiths refused throughout to put his own candidacy into jeopardy. Following the failure of the effort at conference. William M. Short president of the state federation of labor, sent a. letter to the union mem bers of the state urging them to drop Mrs. Axtell and concentrate on Colonel Lamping. Senator Poindexter's vote for the seating of Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, his use of money in pre vious campaigns, particularly that for the nomination in the last presi dential election,, and the allegation that he had deserted the Bull Moose policies, whose popularity , carried him into the senate in 191Q,- were constantly-used talking points of his opponents. He replied with a defense of Sen-, ator Newberry and with a recapit ulation of the services that he de clared that he had . rendered the state and that, he asserted, could not be given by a new man in the United States senate. CLARKE VOTE IS LIGHT Farmers Too Immersed in Work to Go to Polls. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept. 12. (Special.) Weather was ideal in Clarke county today toe the primary election, when 62 candidates were passed upon for the 15 offices which were up to be filled. The vote was light, nevertheless, as many farmers are In the midst of prune picking. It is thought that about 7000 votes were cast. Tjere were about 11,000 registered voters in the county.

Schaefer, county clerk; Joseph E. Hall, attorney; Walter A. Schwarz, engineer, and Thomas N. Vessey. constable, were all renominated by the republicans, - there - being no opposition.
